As Roo said, 'Les vogues' means 'the fashions'. From what I understand, you are trying to say a group of fashionable people. You could say 'Ils sont dans la mode' to say 'They are in fashion', or you could say 'Les fashionistas' to say 'the fashionistas', although I think fashionista is more of a slang term. To just flat out say 'A group of fashionable people', you could say 'Un groupe de gens a la mode'. I am pretty confident on my translations, and I hope was able to help a little bit. If I come up with something else, I will post.

The word "vogue" is mostly used in french in the term "en vogue", "&#234;tre en vogue" (to be in fashion). Or you can say "c est la grande vogue maintenant" (it&#180;s all the rage now).
So in french for someone who is trendy in a fashion way, we would "il est tendance" (he is trendy), "c est tendance"
-For someone who&#180;s into fashion we&#180;d say "modeux, modeuse", "fashionista", and if it&#180;s negative "fashion victim"
So to conclude on "vogue" it is used as a common word in a sentence "la vogue", or as an adjective "en vogue", but not to qualify/call people
(maybe if you say "les en-vogue").

It makes some sense - again as the others have said, french can translate differently in terms of how it's put in a sentence. The only thing is that you'd definitely need to use "vogues" and not "vogue" since "les" is plural and not singular.

If you called your website "lesvogues.com", I'd interpret it to mean "the fashionables" or "the fashionable people".

In french, I usually describe a group of fashionable people as 'a la mode' or 'en vogue' if that helps. My french is French-Canadian french, not France/Parisienne french though.
